I've been waiting for someone else to ring in on this one.
I grew up on her. I mean, she was a big cinematic idol to me.
Every time I hear her name, I think of Day of the Locust. I saw it at a theater with my best buddy when it came out (1975). It was a real puzzler of a movie. I couldn't figure out if I liked it or not, or whether the performances were brilliant or lame. I just could not fathom it.
And it's lingered in my head ever since.
I read a write-up yesterday that says Karen Black felt her status as an A-list actress ended with Day of the Locust. Now there's a further puzzler.
I desperately need to revisit Day of the Locust. It's at the Mountain View Library, though checked out, and likely to be for a couple weeks. But that's fine. I have a script to finish.
Thank you, Karen Black, for pitching my psyche deeper into the dark fringes.
